  • Thanks for the reply. I guess I picked a great project for my first go at this haha. Do you have a quick link to the matrix room so I can check it out? A video guide would be great for those like me, if you’re up to it. I’m sure it would be very helpful once people realize they can own their own home here.

    Edit: I found the matrix room and ended up getting it going for the most part! Still tweaking the .env settings and trying to get mail/registrations to work though




  • Since it seems that Reddit admins will eventually just replace mods that refuse to open their subs back up and force them back open anyway, maybe actually opening subs back up would be best thing to do. NOT opening back up to business as usual though. r/videos, for example, could reopen and change their rules to allow only discussions about the best VHS camcorders from the 80s for recording videos, just not actual videos. r/Funny could change their rules and only allow text posts of knock-knock jokes.

    This would ensure that those mods aren’t officially breaking any “rules” and the mods that are willing to actually stand up wont risk being ousted in favor of installed mods that are favorable to Reddit’s views. Reddit can have all their subs reopened, but they dont have to remotely resemble anything that they once were. I didn’t see them say anything about that. They could create a sticky that says something like, “Until Reddit reconsiders, this sub is now about X” (just more eloquently said). Make the content so dumb and ridiculous and maybe it’ll get more attention than continuing the blackouts (since they think it’s all going to fizzle out anyway), and keep the good mods in control. They said reopen, but they didnt say it had to be good. Malicious compliance.

    Just thinking of ways to stay one step ahead, and it would be absolutely hilarious too. The great rebranding!
